Add Social Tools to Mobile App

I have talked to a few users about being able to access social publishing/scheduling tools while on the go. This could incredibly useful for trade events, in order to centralise all of the social posts, and possibly launch campaigns on the go.

Sorry, but I really don't understand where this is going or why. Why do we need to come up with requirements? This all used to exist in the old mobile app. Just take that and merge it in to the existing app. You should even have that code. As a developer myself, I don't think it's oversimplifying things to say this. This shouldn't be that big of a deal. You already built this, tested it, and deployed it. You just failed to add it back in to the new app when you replaced the old app with the new L&F.

So, can we get Hubspot to acknowledge this and add it back in? It seems absurd to me that we're even having a discussion about adding social posting to an inbound platform of the level of Hubspot. Can we get a commitment to have this integrated back in by the end of Q3?

I actually spoke with the app team about this back in February. He gave me a little history on the issue but the recommendation to use hubspot.com on mobile, for the time being, is not helpful, especially because it the site does not have very good UI or UX on mobile.

I was really surprised to see that I could not post on social for my company when away from my laptop. This is really essential at events or for those unexpected opportunities when social is really meaningful. Is there a reason you can do email and blogs but not social? That leaves our a significant channel in a campaign.

@mvalin you can not do anything from a marketing standpoint from the app. All it is a really basic dashboard. You cannot create any content, blogs, emails or social posts from the app. This is one of my biggest frustrations with HubSpot. A system that is supposed to be the Hub of everything, which started as a marketing platform, that is supposed to make my job easier, requires me to look to other applications to do this seemingly basic feature like post on social media from my phone. And then we find out thanks to @Daria that this is not even (back) on their to-do list yet.

Social media publishing from the mobile app is an absolutely necessary feature these days, with full functionality available on the web app. I am a new Hubspot customer and actually find it hard to believe that this functionality does not already exist in the Hubspot mobile app. With so much business activity taking place on the go these days, and social media publishing needing to be very timely, this functionality is crucial, and I hope the Hubspot product team will implement this in 2018.

Another important feature that is missing from Hubspot dealing with Social Posts (especially if you are managing a team) is being able to approve social posts before they are published. I would encourage everyone to upvote the idea published here

I use Hubspot a lot to post blogs/articles and social media posts. However I would LOVE to be able to post to social media via the mobile hubspot app. Which is not possible now. If you guys can arrange that, it would be really great!

Also, maybe you guys can change the size/file limit on Instagram? It is 4MB now. So I cant upload 4MB pictures via the Hubspot Instagram posting tool. But if I go directly to Instagram it is not a problem. Same goes for the width and height of the pictures!

Just FYI... i use Hubspot much less since the mobile app was disconintued. The mobile app kept us engaged with Hubspot. It makes Hubspot much more useable with the ability to post to social media accounts using already made content from landing pages and blog from mobile devices. Not sure why the mobile app was discontinued. Extremely odd. It worked. Maybe some IP infringement? There has been no clear guidance from Hubspot or timeline which is also odd. The replacement app does not have much utility IMO. It was a strange replacement. Usually the replacement app is an upgrade. Thanks for reading.

Is there any update on if/when this function will/would be available for either the mobile app, or the mobile site? Having the option to schedule posts on the go is honestly something I’d find incredibly useful. Not having the option to either via mobile app or mobile browser is something that is a serious con for HubSpot. It would be so great to be able to do this via mobile app, but I’d be happy with even just the ability to do this via mobile web browser.

Frankly, I’m quite confused as to why this hasn’t ever been an option before. I figure adding this ability to the mobile app would be probably quite difficult and/or tedious, which is why I assume the ability to schedule social posts wasn’t ever added as a feature to the mobile app, but as for the mobile site, frankly I’m quite confused as to why I can’t just have an option for “desktop version” to be able to access and schedule/post social content on the go.

the lack of this is incredibly frustrating as a user/customer of HubSpot, and lacking the ability to access/schedule/post social content on the go is something significant enough to me that it does make me want to look at switching from HubSpot to a competitor.

i hope this is something that’s still being considered, or is currently being worked on to hopefully be available soon.

HubSpot has some great capabilities that truly make you stand out from the rest out there, which is why I decided to become a HubSpot customer, but as I said, the lack of being able to access social on the go is a masssive hinderance for me at times when I need to work on the go, but can’t.

Im eager to get an update regarding this. I look forward to hear back from the HubSpot team with this.
